14 THE ORCHID REVIEW. | JANUARY, 1922. 
In addition to the larger flowered Orchids, numbers of the so-called 
Botanical species are included. Ccelogyne nervosa, with ovoid bulbs, and 
numerous arching spikes carrying white and ochreous-yellow flowers; C. 
Mooreana, the flowers of which resemble those of C. cristata, but are carried 
on erect spikes; and an exceedingly well-grown plant of Angrzeum Leonis 
finds a happy home in a corner of the Cattleya house. Vanda cristata, 
which stands near the V. Kirkii, is like a pigmy against a giint, for the 
plant is barely six inches high, yet it bears two to four flowers, creamy-white 
with ferruginous streaks. The labellum, when inverted, resembles a hound’s 
skull with prominent canine teeth. 
Bulbophyllums, Catasetums, Erias, and species requiring similar culture 
are attached by wires to the Cattleya house roof. - A plant of Cirrhopetalum 
ornatissimum at once attracts attention on. account of the peculiar smell 
attached to its flowers, which are borne six or seven in number on a slender 
peduncle some four inches high, and arranged in fan-like formation. 
These blooms are brown-purple in colour and have at the tip of each petal: 
and dorsal sepal a tuft of gossamer hairs; purple in certain lights, iridescent 
igid exclusion of smaller and larger insects ensures 
perfect cross fertilisation, so keeping the species true. 
A pretty trio of miniature Dendrobiums is included: D. cymbidioides, 
the apex of the one last made, the growth somewhat resembling that of 
Maxillaria tenuifolia and M. meleagris, which together with M. picta are in 
this collection. The latter is represented by a small plant carrying several 
pretty and sweetly-scented flowers, modest in that they grow close to the 
pseudobulbs beneath the foliage, but demanding attention by their sweet 
fragrance. 
The further house is entirely filled with Cypripediums, telling specimens 
of the older hybrids, suchas Mons.de Curte, Ashburtoniz, Lites teen: Sallieri 
Harrisianum and Pitcherianum, compose the back rows, and which, in
